St. Hugh's College
Oxford University
Oxford, UK.Preface from the Conference Program Chair
The OBEC program continues to show a healthy mixture of high standards of
selectivity coupled with wide participation from our academic community. All
manuscript submitted for the conference went through a double-blind referee
process.
Any ABER conference is only as good as the people who take time out of
their very busy schedule to help put it all together. As Conference Program
Chair, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Joy Grant of
Manchester Metropolitan University, our local program coordinator and Sarah
Cooper of St Hugh's College for their invaluable work in providing the
necessary infrastructure and support for a successful conference. Finally,
without your participation this conference would not have been possible. I
would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and
appreciation to you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you

Atul Gupta
